Dreams are strange - you feel as though you've been dreaming all night, but 2-3 seconds really surprises me. And then there are those people who try to assess what each dream means. I'm usually running away from someone and trip up; just as I'm being caught and something horrible is about to happen I wake up. So ... what does that mean then.

200 muscles to take one step - that's something I didn't know, but if you think about whenever you hurt anywhere in your body, you can rely on that part to hurt when you try to walk, so that's worth knowing.

Good thread

OK...I'm in.
I heard that eyeballs don't grow... that they are the same size from the time you are born til you die. I believe this was out of a book my kid had on weird facts... I can't stand anything to do with eyeballs so I guess thats why it stuck with me (ie. fish eyes, watching eye surgeries, etc all just makes me want to PUKE!) But, its nice to know that weird look my hubby gets (eyes dilated) just means he lurves me...haha.
